The Motor Guard Disposable Filter is a point-of-use filter designed to remove traces of water vapor, oil aerosols and particulate from the compressed air

stream. The unit is designed for installation directly upstream of the component being protected. Applications include paint spray equipment, blow guns,

pneumatic control and instrumentation and any other devices requiring clean, moisture free air. The filter is bi-directional and will function equally well

installed in either orientation.

Motor Guard Disposable Filters are intended to supplement, rather than replace conventional moisture traps,

filters and dryers. While conventional filters remove most moisture and contaminants, the Motor Guard

Disposable Filter will remove moisture and contaminants that might pass through or enter the airstream

between the conventional filter and the point of use.

WARNING: Shut off air supply and drain residual pressure before attempting to service any part of the compressed air system!

INSTALLATION

Filter may be installed in either direction and should be installed as close as possible to the actual

point of use, downstream of other filters and water traps. In no case should the filter be installed

within 20 feet of supply line length of the compressor. Failure to maintain this distance will cause

excessive water vapor to pass through unit.

This filter is designed for installation on a 1/4 inch line, use appropriate fittings for installation on other

line sizes. Do not apply thread sealing compound or Teflon tape to threads on filter or mating pipe as

doing so can cause the fittings to crack during tightening. When installing filter, grasp the housing by

hand and tighten in a clockwise manner. Do not use a vise, pliers or other mechanical means as

doing so may damage the threads or housing, leading to injury.

After installation, pressurize slowly to avoid high-pressure surge. Check for leaks and re-tighten

fittings as needed.

WARNING: This product is intended for use in industrial compressed air systems only. Do

not install where pressures or temperatures can exceed those listed above.

OPERATION

Filter should be operated within the parameters listed above. During operation and before each use, inspect filter for signs of leaking or damage.

Remove and discard filter immediately if any damage is noted.

WARNING: Do not clean with or expose the filter to solvents, ketones, etc. as use of such chemicals will adversely affect the filter housing

and could lead to serious injury.

When used on a flexible air hose, keep hose free of snags as extra tension could lead to failure at the connection ports.

Filter should be replaced before the element has become saturated and will no longer trap water. The following general guidelines may be used for the

replacement interval:
